Today my @nytimes.com colleagues and I are launching a new series called Lost Science. We interview US scientists who can no longer discover something new about our world, thanks to this year‘s cuts. Here is my first interview with a scientist who studied bees and fires. Gift link: nyti.ms/3IWXbiE

The MMR vaccine is one of the most stunningly effective medical therapeutics in existence. It’s also safer than most of your everyday activities. This is simply an attempt to stop people from vaccinating.

The Trump administration’s deployment of ICE and others in the mass deportation effort has led to more violence and turmoil, and less safety and security for all, including US citizens. But that’s a feature not a bug. The chaos justifies further authoritarian crackdowns. The chaos is the point.

“There’s a baby!”

Guns drawn. Windows smashed. With a 1 month old in the car. (They did this as he was coming home from an immigration court appointment— which is illegal in Colorado: coloradosun.com/2025/10/01/i...)

Forgetting the Survivors Everyone but the survivors—the people who deserve it the most—seems to be the focus of the renewed interest in Jeffrey Epstein.

Something that has been missing from the Trump administration’s review of the Epstein case: considering the survivors. This week, they speak out, and we should all be listening. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

As the weather becomes summerly fatal, just remember that weather forecasting and FEMA are what the framers were talking about.
The psychopath these "Red States" put into the White House isn't going to help them.

You can’t abdicate your responsibility to justice, democracy, and being an adult. None of this works, if you don’t. It takes every grain of sand to build a beach. Every drop of water to fill an ocean. Every adult to uphold the law and democracy. It’s not a spectator sport, it’s your governance. #3E

Reports indicate that several other red states are now considering opening camps similar to the one in Florida. Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina publicly requested a facility, tweeting, “Dear DHS: We’ve got a swamp and a dream. Let’s talk. South Carolina’s gators are ready.”

Jon Favreau on Twitter: “Shocking how bad this bill is:
- 17 million would lose health care 
- 30% higher electricity costs 
- Millions of manufacturing and construction jobs destroyed 
- Biggest ever cut in food assistance for families, kids, veterans 
- $4 trillion in deficits 
- $1 trillion in tax cuts for millionaires & billionaires 
People should be on the phones, in the streets, and telling everyone who'll listen”

A Senate vote on Trump’s Tax Scam, which would gut Medicaid to fund billionaire tax giveaways, is expected late tonight or early tomorrow. We need GOP senators’ phones to be ringing off the hooks today.

But it offsets these expensive tax cuts in part through what several experts said may prove to be the most dramatic reductions in safety net spending in modern U.S. history. While last-minute changes to the bill text make precise estimates impossible, the legislation appears on track to cut Medicaid by about 18 percent and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) by roughly 20 percent, according to estimates based on projections from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.

I'm a US Army Veteran. 250 years ago on this day, an Army of the people stood up and said "There are no kings in America." Today, that happened again. To everyone who showed, tonight I get to thank you for your service in defending this Nation. Let there be no kings in America for another 250 years.

Just want to take a moment to shout out the international reporters helping us get the real story out. When an 80-year-old veteran with a walker is hauled off with his hands zip-tied behind his back, and the media spins it as a “threatening breach” of a police barricade

This is a lie. We all saw the video. The Senator clearly identified himself, and he did not "lunge" toward anyone.
 
If these miserable propagandists will lie to you about roughing up a U.S. Senator in a room full of reporters, what won't they lie to you about?

It’s looking like Saturday’s No Kings mobilizations are going to be even bigger than Hands Off!

We need to show up by the millions to demonstrate that Trump’s tyrannic crackdown is only deepening our resolve.
